How Many Robot

Released in 1988 by Artdink for the MSX2, *How Many Robot* is a distinct simulation-puzzle title that deviates from typical action-oriented games of the era. Players are tasked with investigating a remote facility, where success depends on accurately observing and counting runaway robots amidst chaotic conditions. By prioritizing logical deduction and keen observation over reflex-based shooting, the game offers a challenging, cerebral experience that stands out within the MSX2 library.

In the far-flung future, you are dispatched to a mysterious planetary facility overrun by rampant, wandering robots. Your mission is not to engage in combat, but to meticulously identify and count the machines appearing before you. This unique puzzle experience demands keen observation and logical deduction as you navigate through a chaotic environment. Under these extreme conditions, your success depends entirely on your ability to accurately track the robot population and complete your survey before returning to safety.
